A Day at Mystic Seaport

We arrived here this morning at 9:20 AM and docked on the stone face pier. Spent the day exploring the Seaport and walked to town for dinner.

Mystic is fun for anyone at any age! Weather you're interested in boats or not, the historical value is interesting and exciting! the actual meauseum costed $6.00 i believe. I did not go into there but there is so much more you can see that is free! I suggest this to everyone! many things to see and places to eat all within walking distance!
